POLICE REGULATIONS OF THE DISTRICT.
Special to the Gazette.
WAsHINGToS, July 3 If the new po-
lice regulations which the Commissioners
of the District have prepared are duly
enforced life will be worth the living in
Washington. They will tend to make this
city model one in every respect, where
the weary may come and be ut rest.
Everybody has st one time or another had
the misfortune OF living near neighbOr
with an insane desire fJr amateur poul- |
try keeping. ana have had his early morn
ing slumbers disturbed by the vOciferous
CaCkLng and Growing Of the hens and
r0osteIs. Such sounds will be heard
no more within the dis
trict's precincts, nor will the
mtlodiOus tinklinG Of the milk wagon /
bell arouse the echoes OF the 4.O'CloCk- !
in .the-morning air. The S. 2. G. a. /
should protest against the provision |
which makes dog liable to instanr de-
if il speaks to fellow dog on
the streets. Such q rule will tend to /
prevent the dissemins ion of knowledge |
among the canine race and should be /
promptly discOuntenanCed Horns and |
whistles of every size and degree receive |
their quietus by this new code, and the |
peanut vendors and other street purveyOTs /
must, if they cry their wares at all, do so J
in 3 subdued whisper. Even the news
boys are restricted in the amount of .
lung power they will be entitled to
use in dispusing of their papers.
Unfortunately there is no clause Sin the
code at present advertised authorizing
the killing of OF the young man next
door who persists in praCuCing on the
yiOliu ~ the most uOegTth hours of the
lay and night, nor OF muzzling the young
ady who thinks she has fine voice. The
5itizens ere, however, living in hopes
hat these oversights will be shortly rem
sdied by their psternal commissioners,
who bid fair TO become somewhat popu-
ar through these regulations, although
some of them are indeed proper subjects
or mirth.
